Algeria Football– At only 20 years old, Yanis Erraddaf, a promising futsal player playing for Montpellier Méditerranée Futsal, made a significant choice for his international career. Ignoring a recent call-up from the France A team, the young player decided to represent Morocco, his homeland.

On his Instagram account, Erraddaf shared the reasons behind this decision:
“After careful consideration, I chose Morocco. This choice is motivated by the heart, but also by the efforts of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) to develop futsal and by the unconditional support of the Moroccan people. »

This choice illustrates not only Yanis’ attachment to his roots, but also his admiration for the progress made by Morocco in the field of futsal. Indeed, the Atlas Lions have established themselves today as a world power. Ranked 7th in the FIFA rankings, Morocco is also the reigning African champion. In recent years, the selection has impressed with its technical play and combativeness, particularly during the Futsal World Cup. In the quarter-finals, the Moroccans held off Brazil, who would later become world champion, marking a turning point in the history of African futsal.

Yanis Erraddaf, known for his vision of the game and his efficiency in front of goal, sees this decision as an opportunity to contribute to this exceptional dynamic. By joining the Atlas Lions, he aims to participate in writing a glorious new page for Moroccan futsal.

This choice also provoked numerous reactions, both in France and in Morocco. Moroccan supporters were quick to show their enthusiasm on social networks, hailing a player they already consider to be a key element for the future of the selection.

With this reinforcement of weight, Morocco continues to lay the groundwork for an ambitious project aimed at further dominating the international scene. For Yanis Erraddaf, this choice represents much more than a sporting career: it is a declaration of love to his country of origin and a desire to contribute to its global influence.
